Is growth mindset integrated in your campus culture? Research shows how crucial growth mindset is in education. https://t.co/dNrGSVhfGz
I like how Wolf states it: "We move from our inherently circumscribed views of the world to enter another and return enlarged" (43). In doing so, we "learn what it means to be another person with aspirations, doubts, and emotions that they might otherwise never have known."
I want to reinforce to my students that we do not just read books to be entertained (though that, too, is important). We read books to enlarge our understanding of others---to step out of our rich cultural bubbles and to see the world through multiple lenses.
I am asking for help. I recall reading a study years ago that found that readers are much more likely to be active in civic life. More likely to vote, to attend concerts and sporting events, and so forth. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I can't find it.
Interest in things is always peaked by how relevant it is to you. We don't need to make the mistake that just because we love a novel, poem, short story, etc our student will too. https://t.co/wMMiDAoaOy
It's a great idea to help them understand the difference between "IN THE TEXT" and "IN MY HEAD" questions. The older our students get the more they will be asked to respond to "between the lines" and "beyond the lines." Keep stretching their minds. #agnewbookstudy https://t.co/Tdbbue1VDP
